The U.S. and Japanese economies remained solid, particularly in terms of consumer spending and capital investment, and in China too, the economic growth was steady thanks to an increase in infrastructure investment and consumer spending. In Europe, the economy continued to expand, led by the German economy. For fiscal 2017, the Hitachi's consolidated revenues increased 2% year over year, to 9,368.6 billion yen. While the revenues were affected by the conversion of Hitachi Transport System, Ltd. and Hitachi Capital Corporation to equity-method associates and the deconsolidation of Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd. in the previous fiscal year, the revenues increased in the Construction Machinery segment where overseas sales rose mainly in China, the High Functional Materials & Components segment where the sales of electronics- and automotive-related products expanded, the Social Infrastructure & Industrial Systems segment where the railway systems business for the U.K. was strong, and the Information & Telecommunication Systems segment where the system integration business remained firm in Japan. Adjusted operating income increased billion yen year over year, to billion yen. The increase was mainly in the Construction Machinery segment, in which profit increased thanks to revenue growth, the Social Infrastructure & Industrial Systems segment, in which the profitability of the industry & distribution field, the power and energy business, and the industrial products business improved, and the Information & Telecommunication Systems segment, in which the profitability of the system integration business in Japan improved in addition to the effect of the structural reform implemented in the previous fiscal year.

4 - 4 - EBIT also increased billion yen year over year, to billion yen mainly due to the increase in adjusted operating income, and the posting of an impairment loss in power and energy systems business in the previous fiscal year, despite the absence of gain from reorganization of Hitachi Transportation System, Hitachi Capital, and Hitachi Koki.
